There are also several little creatures that EAT plastic. One of them eats the plastic in landfills/soil; another consumes the plastic in the oceans.
Reminds me of the Gulf Oil accident, where the oil was pouring into the Gulf waters after the drill pipe broke. The questimates for the amount of oil released into the Gulf were from ‘a lot’ to ‘a lot more.’ Later they stated they could not find over half of the questimated oil. Turns out, just like plastic, there are little creatures that eat oil. What the Drive-By Media will never admit or inform is that oil is seeping out into the oceans from the ocean floor all the time. It is part of nature. It is food for some creatures, and a GREAT source of energy and products for us. When an extra large amount of oil is released into the ocean, there develop large plumes of these creatures that eat the oil. Imagine an all-you-can-eat buffet.
“Imagine an all-you-can-eat buffet.”
Yes I am afraid I can. Those buffets are the bain of my existence and one reason I am overweight.
